As a student of Astrology, I believe that we have overlooked the influence that transiting planetary bodies can have in our lives and world events in general. Take for instance the fact that on 26th June 2010 there will be a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn.

This eclipse aligns with Uranus in Aries, Jupiter in Aries, Pluto in Capricorn and Saturn in Virgo to form a Grand Cross and is an extremely significant and powerful event potentially having a huge impact on global events.

A cross is created when four planets are connected as follows: two planets are in opposition to one another, and are then connected at 90 degree angles to two more planets (also in opposition to one another).

This configuration brings conflicting energies into our awareness, thereby motivating growth. There is also a tendency for the opposing energies to become polarized, creating a stalemate situation.
The astrological world is alight with conversation about the implications of this event combined with the lunar eclipse.
Watch this short and very interesting description of the implications of this alignment by acclaimed astrologers, Rick Levine & Jeff Jawer

Other experts claim the following potential effects of the full moon lunar eclipse just on its own.


The full moon lunar eclipse will be visible over eastern Asia and the western part of the Americas, and particularly over the South Pacific (including Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand), the June 26 eclipse is potent from the 23rd through the 29th.
The eclipse occurs just over 24 hours after the Moon reaches maximum declination south of the celestial equator, making this an extreme full moon, with enhanced potential to raise unusual tides in the earth’s atmosphere, oceans and crust – particularly in the zone of visibility, where headlines are likely to be made by seismic events and powerful storms.
Central Europe and the western part of Central Africa are under one of the astro-locality longitudinal stress lines for the June 26 eclipse.
Another longitudinal risk zone runs through Chicago in the western hemisphere, over the poles and through Calcutta in the east.
There’s also a hazardous looking horizon arc sweeping southeasterly from Alaska down through the Yucatan Peninsula and western South America (crossing Santiago) and through the Falkland Islands before turning northeasterly to sweep across Indonesia, the Indochina Peninsula, eastern China and the east coast of Siberia.

Rick Levine & Jeff Jawer offer an entertaining and easy to understand reading of June's planetary alignments and beyond. Their 6 pt series on youtube is really worth viewing.

Here's part 1:

Hi Yiolas! I follow Levine's work too. The other day it was my b-day and I was puttering around on the web and found this interesting blog article by one off his collegues. It truely struck home with me.


Get a Grip … But First You’ll Need to Let Go
June 17th, 2010 by Maria DeSimone

Are you ready for the significant cosmic energy that’s in store for the upcoming Lunar Eclipse on June 26? The Astrology is staggering –- some might even say ominous. But this shouldn’t leave you in a complete tailspin. Remember, the point of Astrology is to use it as a tool that provides awareness and empowerment. We study these cycles and apply them to our individual lives in an effort to understand our development.

There are opportune cycles and difficult cycles. All of them have a beginning, middle and end. If you’re someone with a personal planet or angle in your chart that falls within the first 10 degrees of any cardinal sign (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) then you’re more likely to experience this Eclipse as stressful. If you have difficult aspects in your birth chart to your natal early degree cardinal planets then it’s an astrological certainty: expect major life changes.

I make no apologies for saying this because I’m not the type of astrologer who wraps cotton candy around her information. I’m not here to delude you –- I’m here to help make you more conscious.

The fact of the matter is this: loss is necessary in our lives even if it’s painful and especially when we think we’re losing something we need for our very survival. Sometimes the universe knows that what we hold onto most might be what’s impeding our soul growth. And if we keep holding on –- tighter and tighter –- then that’s when the universe comes into our lives and rips it away.

Sounds quite Plutonian doesn’t it? Well it should because this Lunar Eclipse is closely conjunct Pluto in the sky. It’s part of a dynamic burst of cardinal energy (always action) since it’s also opposed Mercury in Cancer and square Jupiter-Uranus in Aries. In addition, there’s an out of sign square to Saturn in late degree Virgo which creates something called a grand cross. That’s a lot of boxed in tension!

A Lunar Eclipse is typically a time of endings; a time when things come to razor sharp awareness and possibly fruition. This could be an incredible harvest time since it’s a super powered Full Moon. The trouble, however, is that in order to determine the theme behind any eclipse you must analyze the aspects it makes. This one is not friendly and there’s just no easy way to say it. So if your personal birth chart indicates that this will be a positive eclipse for you –- then you’ll likely receive that promised harvest; however you will still have plenty of tension in your environment to contend with.

The effects of any eclipse typically last and continue to unfold over six months until the next series of eclipses pick up. For anyone with early degree cardinal planets there is a possibility of loss during this time however you must also understand that with this loss or destruction there will be incredible powers to rise from the ashes and be reborn. Don’t underestimate the power you have inside yourself. Draw from it — use it well.

It’s time to let go of what is no longer serving you … it’s the only way you’ll truly get a grip.

Cosmic Love & Blessings,
Maria

It's truly an exciting time! Call me crazy but instead of fearing for the worst, we can use the energy and tension created by such alignment to do something positive for once!

I still think that war in the Middle East is going to or has already been thwarted.

yiolas, I find it very interesting that this lunar eclipse has a very big impact on the oceans, and oil.

Here is a snippet from a site I read that has some more interesting facts on this Saturdays eclipse.

This Full Moon eclipse is not only explosive but totally life changing.
We have already seen how the Sun now in Cancer is butting heads with Jupiter-Uranus in "Martial-Militaristic-Mars" ruled Aries all fighting the lord of the underworld and deep
recesses of the earth/ocean - Pluto.

McChrystal's resignation of course reveals how fast Venus opposing Neptune is about abdication and defeats. A rapid-fire chain of events led to Gen. McChrystal's downfall
This sure sounds like Mars-Vesta together in service (Armed services) oriented Virgo
trine the Moon and N Node of destiny.
Preview: Bellatrix is rising as the Sun is Rising orb 01 mins 49 secs -
Remember that Bellatrix is the Female Warrior, the Amazon Star in the left shoulder
of the constellation Orion.
Successful, but via the hard or physical route - Arising and lying hidden
The process will not be an easy transition per Robson:
Bellatrix with the Sun (rulers-leaders): Vacillating, changeable, indecisive in business, mechanical ability, riches and honor but final ruin, blindness by accident, disease, extreme sickness, fevers or violent death.

Even though Neptune-Pisces correspond and even rule Oil and Oceans, it is Pluto that is connecting with the deep, hidden fluids of mother earth's seismic terrain.
As above so below is personified in this event when : A solar wind stream is due to hit Earth's magnetic field on June 26th, possibly sparking a new round of geomagnetic activity. Sky watchers above and below should be alert for auroras.
It will be visible after sunset from Australia, and eastern Asia. It will be seen before sunrise setting over western North and South America..
Back to astrology and how the Cardinal Crush will progress
Looking at the Sabians:Sun @ 5 degrees Cancer "An automobile wrecked by a train."
5 degrees Capricorn: "Indians rowing a canoe and dancing
a war dance."
Lots of action but not all doom, gloomy and negative.
In fact both eclipses (July 11th too) are from Saros Series 12 South
which is about resolutions and successful outcomes...
Per Brady:
"This Saros series will bring successful outcomes to long term worries and
illness. An issue which has worried or drained the individual for some time
will at first seem worse, then clear with successful outcomes."
